This week the Creative Sisters Monday Challenge was to create something using only one color. You could use all different shades and textures, but just one color. I chose blue and an envelope album for my project.
I used a manila envelope for a pattern and cut my envelopes out of two different blue papers. Then I added embelishments. I joined the album together with a ring.
My grandest-daughter, Lexi, is 4 years old and she tells the most outrageous stories you can imagine. I write the funniest ones down in a journal and will embelish those pages and place them in the envelopes, along with any other "memorabilia" that just can't be scrapbooked.
This color challenge really was a CHALLENGE!!! I found myself constantly reaching for something with a different color or pattern and reminding myself that I had to stay with blue.
Thank you Karen, my Guest Designer for challenging us! Make sure you stop by http://www.littlescrappieces.blogspot.com/ and check out all her fabulous creations! She's has some amazing things - a very talented lady!
Remember to link up your project - there are still a few days left - and those that enter this challenge and my sisters challenge next Monday, will be entered to win the P R E S E R V E S Cartridge! Good Luck!

Great idea for an ambitious little girl!
